Musk Amplifies Ex-Pfizer Toxicologist's Vaccine Death Claims

The former Pfizer Europe toxicologist said key safety studies were skipped and claimed underreporting could mean far more vaccine deaths than official figures show.

  • On March 19, 2026, former Pfizer Europe chief toxicologist Dr. Helmut Sterz testified before the Bundestag's Corona Enquete Commission, alleging the Pfizer-BioNTech Comirnaty vaccine approval process was "dangerously rushed" and bypassed fundamental safety studies.
  • Sterz alleged 10 essential preclinical safety studies, including carcinogenicity and reproductive toxicity tests, were skipped "due to time constraints," and claimed mass-produced vaccine material differed from clinical trials due to bacterial DNA contamination.
  • Citing internal reports of over 1,200 suspected deaths within two months of approval, Sterz argued official reporting systems underestimate adverse events and suggested the actual death toll in Germany could be as high as 60,000.
  • German Health Minister Karl Lauterbach rejected the claims as false, while tech billionaire Elon Musk amplified the testimony on X, reigniting global vaccine safety debate.
  • Health regulators worldwide maintain that vaccines met safety standards and saved lives, though the German inquiry is expected to continue taking evidence from scientists and critics in the coming months.
